Cutervo National Park
San
Andres de Cutervo National Park Tours Contact Us The forests in the vicinity of the
Province of Cutervo (Department Cajamarca) have long been recognized as
possessing high diversity in both the flora and fauna (López 1971).
These forests extend over the area called the Cordillera de Tarros
(2200-3500 m) located between the villages of La Capilla and San Andres
de Cutervo and La Flor to Cutervo, approximately 6°00'-6°20'W and
78°40'-78°53'W. In 1961, ca. 2,500 ha were set aside in the first
national park established in Peru and a decade later it was proposed to
increase the territory to 24,000 ha. Never-the-less the park is coming
under ever-growing threats from timber clear-cutting and establishment
of pasture.
The main goal
of this area is to protect the flora and fauna, as soon as the
conservation of the landscape beauty in the (Chain of Mountains)
Cordillera de los Tarros.
